    Antonio de Morga wrote Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas in 1609, providing a history of the early Spanish colonization of the Philippines. As a high-ranking colonial official, Morga had first-hand experience to draw from but also showed bias in favor of the Spanish conquest. Jose Rizal later annotated Morga's work in 1889, noting where Morga distorted facts or relied on invention. Rizal believed the history should be annotated by a Filipino rather than a foreigner. His annotation was an important effort toward rewriting Philippine history from an indigenous perspective.

    history
    B. Compare and contrast Rizal and Morga’s different views

    Events in the Philippine Islands by Antonio de Morga,
    Published in 1609 in Mexico
    One of the most important works on the early history
    of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines
    ANTONIO DE MORGA SANCHEZ GARAY
    - a high ranking colonial official in the Philippines,
    New Spain and Peru
    - led the Spanish in one naval battle against Dutch
    corsairs in the Philippines, in 1600
    - wrote first lay formal history of the Philippine
    conquest by Spain
    ANTONIO DE MORGA SANCHEZ GARAY
    His history is valuable in that Morga had access to the
    survivors of the earliest days of the colony and he himself
    participated in many accounts that he rendered.
    The books narrates the history of wars, intrigues, diplomacy
    and evangelization of the Philippines in a somewhat disjoined
    way.
    Modern historians(including Rizal) have noted that Morga
    has a definite bias and would often distort facts or even rely
    on invention to fit his defense of the Spanish conquest.
    MORGA’S PURPOSE OF WRITING THE
    SUCESOS
    Morga wrote that the purpose for writing
    Sucesos was so he could chronicle the deeds
    achieved by our Spaniards in the discovery,
    conquest, and conversion of the Filipinas islands-
    as well as various fortunes that they have from
    time to time in the great kingdoms and among the
    pagans surrounding the islands.
